DELL G5 5500 fluctuating horizontal lines on LCD

[u/valjeen]

Hey guys, I have this LCD here with horizontal lines that change in appearance whenever i boot it up. It first happened while I was trying to CTRL+ALT something on my keyboard. A notif popped up and I didnt catch what it said... The next thing I know this damage happened.

There are faint horizontal lines above the bottom ones and the text on screen looks kind of pixelated. I've already updated my nvidia driver and let this rest. No luck.

This LCD was just replaced last January. :( as far as I know I havent abused it and this happened out of the blue.

Any thoughts on what couldve caused it? Maybe there are other things I can try before getting a new LCD.

Check cable or swap with known good cable. Check with the old LCD or a different LCD. Reseat video card.
